Abby Stone

Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Abby Stone, and I am the Editor-in-Chief of The Rambler. I am a rising senior at Transy pursuing dual degrees in International Affairs and Writing, Rhetoric, and Communications and hope to have a career where I get to travel. When I'm not writing a story, I work for a catering company, give back to the community, and love to go on new adventures with friends or find a new good book to read. Thank you for being a part of The Rambler community and happy reading!

Jennifer Palumbo

Faculty Advisor

Hi! I’m Jennifer Palumbo, the new faculty advisor for The Rambler. My passion for journalism started early. I was on the staff of my high school newspaper as a writer and editor-in-chief. I thought I wanted to work for a newspaper, but an internship at a TV station changed my mind. I realized I wanted the challenge of telling stories with words and video and meeting multiple deadlines, instead of just one. I studied broadcast journalism at Ohio University’s Scripps School of Journalism. After graduating, I moved to London, England for my first job as an assignment desk assistant at the ABC News London bureau. From there I moved to Hazard, Kentucky to work at WYMT-TV as a reporter, videographer, producer and anchor. My next job brought me to Lexington to work at WKYT-TV, the CBS affiliate. I would be there for 20 years, also working on the FOX 56 Ten o’Clock News and FOX 56 Morning Edition. In 2019, I started a new job as anchor of WLEX-TV’s new program “It’s On!” that airs weekdays at 12:30 p.m. I am excited to be working as faculty advisor of The Rambler with such a talented group of Transy students. I think I bring a unique perspective with my 25 years of experience as a working journalist and my passion for teaching. We want to hear from you! Send us your story ideas and suggestions. You can contact me at jpalumbo@transy.edu.

Allison Spivey

News Editor

My name is Allison Spivey! I’m a sophomore at Transy, and I am the news editor of The Rambler. I joined The Rambler during my first semester of freshman year and have loved it ever since. I cherish the ability to provide information about the happenings both on and off campus to all of The Rambler’s readers. As the news editor, I am always on the lookout for stories to cover that would be of interest to Transy's students. I am an education major, and therefore, I take spreading information very seriously. The Rambler is consistently communicating information to the Transy community, and being the news editor gives me such a privilege to explore first-hand the inner workings of our school.
